Hi,

 WHAT I HAVE DONE
*********************

 I have installed Otrs 2.2.1 from sources on my Rhel 3, Mysql 3.23, Apache 2 and Perl 5.8 and also I have installed all perl modules (required and not) in a directory near otrs, I mean, modules are in /home/haecotrs/perl and otrs installation's folder is in /home/haecotrs/public_html/otrs. Just in case, I have realized later, I had defined PERL5LIB with the public perl libraries and the ones installed by myself in /home/haecotrs/perl so that when I execute "perl CheckModules.pl" the command's output is everthing ok.


WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
****************************

I would like to know if my particular otrs' installation is finding the modules that I have installed in /home/haecotrs/perl. I can guess this is not happening so I would also like to know how I can tell otrs where to find them
 

WHAT UNSUCCESSFUL TESTS I HAVE DONE TO FOUND OUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
******************************************************************

- I have tried to print the PERL5LIB form otrs's installation by "$ENV {PERL5LIB}" but the output got was a blank space so that means this is not defined.Moreover I have looked for  every $ENV statement by using "egrep -w "ENV" -R otrs" and I could not see anyone related to PERL5LIB.

 - I have printed, from index.pl, @INC and among found paths there is none to /home/haecotrs/.

 - I certainly know otrs is executed by apache user as I have also done a whoami from the index.pl file and the printed output said it was apache.

 - I have even printed the $INC list to know what modules have currently loaded

 none is loaded form the place where I installed the perl modules.


  TO SUM UP
 ***********

 I would certainly like to know what I can do to tell otrs where the installed modules are instead of looking for in the pubic perl libraries' folder. I know I should have defined @INC when perl modules were installed or I could even make a symlink form cpa-lib directory to /home/haecotrs/perl as perl script look for in the current directory first of all but I don't think this is a good solution.

 Thank you very much in advantage for your answers,

 Daniel.
